    From the opening few seconds of 'Rain On Lens' you just know this album is going to be a classic.
  2. All Music Guide

    This album is a study in repetition and rhythm, the same kinds that Callahan first toyed with on songs like "Bloodflow" and "Justice Aversion" from Dongs of Sevotion.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    60
    There have been dark records by Chicagoan Bill Callahan. There have been wilfully obscure ones too, but there has never been one as single-mindedly dour as this.

    Rain on Lens isn't awful, but boy, is it a long way from The Doctor Came at Dawn.
